Solastalgia is a feeling created by experiencing loss from within a place or landscape. This hat is worked with colourwork caribou and twinkling candlelight, designed for a recurring dream of a lost ancestral space.

This one-size adult hat is knit in the round with a ribbed brim and stockinette colourwork. Decreases around the top of the hat are worked with k2tog and ssk, with a daisy-chain closure.
